Enabling PIM-SM
Enable IP multicast routing before you configure PIM.
With PIM-SM enabled on interfaces, routers can establish PIM neighbor relationship and process PIM
messages from their PIM neighbors. When you deploy a PIM-SM domain, HP recommends that you
enable PIM-SM on all non-border interfaces.
IMPORTANT:
All the interfaces on the same router must operate in the same PIM mode.
To enable PIM-SM:
Step

1.
Enter system view.

2.

4.

pim sm
By default, PIM-SM is disabled.
Configuring an RP
An RP can provide services for multiple multicast groups. However, only one RP can forward multicast
traffic for a multicast group at a moment.
An RP can be manually configured or dynamically elected through the BSR mechanism. For a
large-scaled PIM network, configuring static RPs is a tedious job. Generally, static RPs are backups for
dynamic RPs to enhance the robustness and operational manageability on a multicast network.
Configuring a static RP
If only one dynamic RP exists on a network, you can configure a static RP to avoid communication
interruption caused by single-point failures. It can also avoid waste of bandwidth due to frequent
message exchange between C-RPs and the BSR. The static RP configuration must be the same on all
routers in the PIM-SM domain.
To configure a static RP:
Step

1.
Enter system view.
